Grandad and John by Jeanne Willis
This title offers a moving and humorous account of a close family relationship told from the point of view of a child. With his dad out of the picture and his mum working full time, six-year-old John's grandad ends up looking after him most of the time. But John doesn't mind - he loves his grandad, even if they don't always see eye to eye. In fact, much of the time they get on each others nerves! When it comes to the important things though, Grandad and John know just how to cheer each other up.
"Grandad and John is a joy to read aloud and children respond to it with laughter, sadness and recognitionIt is the love at the heart of their relationship that makes the story glow." Wendy Cooling, Bookstart"
